The Internet gives users access to essentially all recorded human knowledge, but users want access to information with as little effort as possible -- which is where this plugin displaying video information comes in. Indian startup Flicksys created a Chrome extension called Flico, which is described as "the most efficient way to obtain useful information from any YouTube video."
This gives viewers a convenient way to learn more about what they're watching without providing too much a distraction. More specifically, Flico can identify any landmark shown in the video. It can also explore streets nearby, other places in the vicinity and show flight details, accommodations and shopping close to that landmark. This sort of video information would be especially helpful to content creators and YouTubers within the tourism sector.
